Airbus UK Broughton made it four wins from four matches in the JD Cymru North as Danny Warren’s late goal secured a 1-0 victory over Llay Miners Welfare on Saturday afternoon.
Warren’s strike arrived in the 77th minute as the striker beautifully controlled Ryan Edwards’ diagonal ball into the area and rolled his shot into the bottom corner.
Welfare are still awaiting a first win in the second tier following promotion, while the Wingmakers are now the only side with a perfect record in the division after Caersws dropped points for the first time this term in a 2-0 defeat away at Denbigh Town on Friday night.
Denbigh took the lead after just 14 minutes as summer signing Sam Duffy scored his first goal for the club by firing into the bottom corner.
Owen Davies had the chance to double the advantage from the penalty spot early in the second half only for his effort from 12 yards to be saved by Steffan Jones, but the hosts’ first win of the season was eventually wrapped up by captain Paul Fleming who bundled the ball home from Nathan Brown’s cross in the 69thminute.
Ruthin Town were the standout performers of the weekend as they cruised to a 7-0 win over Prestatyn Town on Friday night.
Strikes from Harry Martin and Osian Davies, as well as a penalty from Jake Hampson, had Ruthin three goals to the good after just 18 minutes.
Llyr Morris added a fourth before a brace from Gwion Owen, which included a calmly dispatched penalty, rounded off a dominant first half display.
The only goal of the second period came in the 50th minute as Harry Martin completed his brace, finishing neatly beyond Prestatyn goalkeeper Luke Jones.
Buckley Town moved up to second in the table with a 2-1 win against Flint Mountain at The Globe – their third consecutive victory.
The Bucks posed an instant threat and got their reward after just seven minutes of play as Rhys Edwards netted his third goal of the season.
Mountain responded on the half hour mark as Sam Rockall headed home from Ryan Kershaw’s cross, but the home side restored their lead 14 minutes from time as Connor Littler latched onto Liam Driscoll’s through ball and sent a composed finish past Reece Thompson.
Jamie Breese popped up with another stoppage time winner away from home as Holywell Town returned to winning ways with a 3-2 victory at Mold Alexandra on Saturday.
A deft lob from Breese put the Wellmen ahead midway through the first half, only for Seydou Bamba to meet Matty Lewis’ cross and level the scoreline just one minute later. Holywell were back in front by half-time though as Jake Roberts came back to haunt his former side with a clinical strike in the 35th minute.
Mold summer signing Owen Cordiner thought he had earned his side a point with his fourth goal of the campaign late on, but Breese tapped home from close quarters once again to steal all three points in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Llandudno salvaged a 1-1 draw against local rivals Colwyn Bay on Friday night courtesy of new signing Lee Stokes’ late equaliser.
Bay went ahead on the 20 minute mark through Craig Lindfield, who tapped the ball home from Gwion Dafydd’s header back across goal.
Just when it seemed the Seagulls would take home all three points, up popped substitute Stokes to guide his header past Rhys Williams and rescue a point with one minute of the 90 remaining.
Gresford Athletic claimed their first league win of the season by coming from two goals down to triumph 4-2 against Penrhyncoch at Cae Baker on Saturday.
Cameron Allen’s quickfire double inside the opening half an hour appeared to put the Roosters in control, but three goals in the space of 11 minutes from Adam Hesp, Haci Ozlu and Charley Edge had turned the game on its head in Gresford’s favour by half-time.
Charlie Mann had set up two of those goals and he got on the scoresheet himself to wrap up the win midway through the second half.
Guilsfield also secured their first league victory of the campaign with an emphatic 4-1 win away at Bangor 1876 on Saturday.
Jamie Hyne and Iwan Matthews earned the Guils a two-goal advantage at half-time, but Bangor got back into the game early in the second half courtesy of Mason Blackwell-Jones’ strike from distance.
However, Joe Haycock restored the two-goal advantage for Guilsfield on 70 minutes before Spencer Parrish added a fourth with his first goal for the club soon after.
